1 INTRODUCTION
RL Solutions (RL) has prepared the following Statement of Work (SOW) to provide you with details on the
implementation of your RL6 software. This SOW is not a legal document; it does not supersede any license
agreements or other signed agreements between RL Solutions and the Client. This document’s intention is to
outline the package of services that were purchased along with the RL6 system.
RL has built a tremendous track record over more than 15 years of very successful implementations. We
understand patient safety and we understand hospital systems. We also understand that every business has
unique requirements, so we take the time to identify your needs and make sure we meet them.
This document outlines the project scope, RL Solutions’ responsibilities, the Client’s responsibilities,
assumptions and timeline estimates for the project. Any changes to this document will be handled through the
project change request (PCR) procedure outlined in this SOW. If a service is not listed in this document, it is not
considered part of this project.
This SOW is intended solely for the Client and RL Solutions only. As such, it cannot be distributed to anyone
who is not directly involved with this project without express written consent of both parties.
2 PROJECT SCOPE
2.1 Included in the Scope
RL Solutions will perform the following:
1. Delivery of implementation services as specified on the order form
2. Collaboration on developing, monitoring and maintaining a project plan
3. Installation of the application on test, training and production servers
4. Installation of the RL6 best practices database
5. Configuration of interfaces as specified on related order form
6. System integration testing of basic system functionality
7. Training of trainers on the software and basic system functionality & workflows
8. Transfer to the Support and Client Excellence teams upon rollover to production
3 PROJECT OUTLINE
The following section provides an overview of the project phase.
The RL Solutions implementation process is designed to get our clients up and running quickly using a proven
methodology that ensures success. After over 1300 implementations, our process has been refined to provide a
solid out-of-the-box software solution with successful user adoption and application roll out with the guidance of
an RL Solutions Implementation Specialist.
The project outline we are recommending is slightly different from our standard implementation approach as it is
geared towards limiting disruptions. Most notably, we deliver the System Admin Essentials training after the
implementation, with a focus on deploying one standard default database (the RL6 Taxonomy) across all sites
to facilitate PSO reporting and reducing mapping costs. Note that all hospitals would be implemented
concurrently by a designated RL implementation team here at RL Solutions.
Deliverables:
1. Welcome call and preparatory task assignments
2. Signed Statement of Work
3. Server and database builds in accordance with RL Solutions technical specifications (Client)
4. Completed technical workbook (Client)
5. Implementation resources assigned
6. Preliminary project plan
7. Project kick-off call
Deliverables:
1. Application Orientation training
2. Specific Admin configuration sessions (Up to 2 hours each session):
a. User and Location spreadsheet
b. Roles and Scopes
c. Schedules
3. Completed file: User and Locations spreadsheet (Client)
4. Installation of application on testing, training and production servers
5. Configuration of any interfaces purchased
6. Install of the RL6 best practices database
Deliverables:
1. Full Systems Integration Test (RL Solutions)
2. UAT of RL6 best practices database (Client)
Note: Phase 3 is not dependent on the Client completing end-user training. Once the configurations have been
copied to the production environment, the Client can begin reporting at any time.
Deliverables:
1. Train-the-Trainer training
2. User Management and Go-live training
3. Copy software to test, training and production environments
4. Transfer to Client Excellence and Support
4.1 RL SOLUTIONS
Please note that several of the roles and responsibilities listed above may be handled by a single individual.
Each role does not necessarily represent a separate RL Solutions resource.
Please note that the roles and responsibilities listed above may be handled by a single individual. Each role
does not necessarily require a separate Client resource.
5 PROJECT ASSUMPTIONS
To execute the project successfully, several key assumptions have been made. Deviations that arise during the
project may impact project timelines and the scope of work provided by RL Solutions. If any such situations
occur, RL Solutions and the Client Project Managers will meet and agree on the appropriate course of action.
Project:
• All project-related work will be performed as per the Project Plan within designated timelines
• Additional hours will be purchased by the Client in the event that the hours included in the order form
are insufficient
• Changes to the Project Plan will be mutually agreed upon between RL Solutions and the Client through
the change control process
• RL Solutions representatives will participate in meetings, as required, either in person or by telephone.
Time spent in remote/on-site meetings is counted towards the purchased service hours.
Technical:
• The servers or virtual machines for testing, training and production environments meet or exceed the
specifications provided by RL Solutions and are ready according to the Project Plan
• The Client workstations meet or exceed the specifications provided by RL Solutions
• The Client will install and configure the servers (operating systems, patches, virtual machines, etc.) prior
to the RL6 software being installed
• The Client’s technical staff are familiar with internal systems and network settings
• The Client technology infrastructure is sufficient to support reasonable performance of the RL6 system
• Technical support will be available to RL Solutions throughout this project
• RL Solutions will be provided with access (including VPN access) to all of the necessary software,
systems and servers to perform its responsibilities as part of this project
Organizational:
• Support during implementation and after transition to Support will be provided in accordance with the RL
Solutions Software Support and Maintenance Guide
(http://www.rlsolutions.com/Terms_Of_Use/North_America.aspx)
• Client System Administrator(s) and RL Solutions will track all software-related issues via the RL Support
Center
• If applicable, the Client will be responsible for all expenses related to onsite services including, but not
limited to, airfare, accommodation, car and mileage, food and other living expenses, as per the RL
Solutions Client Services Guide (see separate guide for details)
6 SERVICE HOURS
The Service Hours listed on the Order Form represent the maximum amount of time that RL Solutions resources
will provide as part of this project. Great care has been taken to properly scale the Service Hours to this project.
In most cases, the Service Hours should be sufficient to achieve successful implementation. In the event that
the Service Hours listed are not sufficient, additional time from RL Solutions can be purchased.
Travel time is not deducted from the quoted implementation service hours and is not billed to the Client. All
expenses related to travel, such as airfare, car, mileage, hotel and living expenses are billable and are not
included in the Order Form.
RL Solutions will track all time spent by all RL Solutions resources on the implementation project. Activities
tracked include, but are not limited to:
• All remote and onsite meetings and conference calls
• Communications by phone or email
• Technical and non-technical assistance
• Configuration activities
• Internal RL meetings related to the project
• Preparation of notes/minutes/documentation, etc.
RL Solutions will provide regular updates on service hour use, at a frequency agreed upon with the Client
Project Manager. RL Solutions will inform the Client when utilization is approaching 50% and 75%. At that time,
RL Solutions may also make a recommendation for the best use of the remaining hours and/or the purchase of
additional service hours.
Upon completion of the implementation project, unused service hours will expire and cannot be transferred to
other products or services.
7 CHANGE CONTROL
The following is a detailed explanation of the process for making a change to the project scope and/or this
SOW, if required.
1. A Project Change Request (PCR) will be the vehicle for communicating change. The PCR will describe
the change, the rationale for the change and the impact the change will have on the project.
2. The designated Project Manager of the requesting party will review the proposed change and determine
whether to submit the request to the other party.
3. Both Project Managers will review the PCR and determine if it is necessary. If both agree, then the PCR
will be investigated by RL Solutions.
4. The results of the investigation including any designs, costs and timeline estimates will be presented to
the Client Project Manager for discussion and approval.
5. Upon signed approval by the Client Project Manager, RL Solutions will commence work as outlined in
the PCR.
8 PROJECT DELAYS
RL Solutions recognizes and accepts that there may be delays during the project life cycle due to events beyond
the control of both RL Solutions and the Client. Such delays may include, but are not limited to, delays in
obtaining project approvals, weather issues, personal emergencies and personnel changes. RL Solutions
considers these delays a normal part of conducting business and will work together with the Client to
accommodate these types of delays.
RL Solutions reserves the right to reassign resources and/or re-prioritize this project if a delay occurs due to a
lack of response from the Client or the Client requested suspension of the project due to other priorities or
extended changes in personnel, and those changes result in scheduling conflicts with other RL Solutions
projects. This may result in a restart date that may or may not match the Client’s desired date.
Project delays may also add more RL Solutions hours to the project. This situation will be handled using the
change control process outlined previously.
9 COMPLETION CRITERIA
RL Solutions will have fulfilled its obligations under this SOW when any one of the following first occurs:
• RL Solutions achieves the deliverables and checkpoints described in this SOW; or,
• The implementation service hours listed on the order form have expired; or,
• The Client is successfully transferred to the Client Excellence and Support teams.
